[. . . ] · Click OK to confirm and close the window. DELIMITERS With the delimiters, you can indicate how the scanned lines must be delimited for the reading. Where should the reading actually start if a word has been cropped during scanning?How should hyphens be interpreted when occurring at the end of a line?Should keyboard commands or characters be added before and/or after the read line? 43 IRISPen Executive 6 - User's guide To set the reading delimiters: · In the Application window, click Delimiters on the toolbar or select Delimiters from the Settings menu. The window opens with an Input and an Output tab. · In the Input tab, indicate how the scanned area must be isolated and what the recognized text (output) should be. Delimit the text line according to the given example: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". - keep all scanned characters - keep all characters before the last space - keep all characters after the first space - keep all characters between the first and the last space Ignore rejected characters in first and last position: It may be that characters positioned at the beginning or at the end of a line are not properly scanned/read. This may happen if the wordspacing is too small or if you scan text from columns, like in magazines, for example, and that you start scanning slightly on the previous word/column and end scanning on the next one. Those "bad" characters will automatically be rejected by the 44 CHAPTER 5 - FREQUENT COMMANDS software and represented by the "~" symbol in the Scan Test window. The best to do if you encounter such a situation is to make the software ignore the first and last position characters for the output, otherwise you will have to delete them manually once inserted in the active application. · In the Output tab, select the options according to your needs: Restore paragraph: You must indicate how to interpret hyphens occurring at the end of a line. If you scan the lines "The new presi-" and "dent waved from the balcony", the hyphen must obviously be dropped so as to recompose the word "president" in the output: "The new president waved from the balcony". Select this option in order to delete all the end hyphens occurring in your text. Note: If hyphens are deleted, the ending codes (see below) will automatically be deleted so that the words can be properly recomposed. Add starting code: You can have the IRISPen execute operations automatically in the target application before the output result is being inserted. You can for example have the software operate a carriage return before it inserts any read line. A series of possible codes are proposed by default, but you can also introduce your own starting code. To insert a starting code, select a code from the drop-down list or select Custom to introduce our own code, then click OK to confirm. With the Custom code, you can add any combination of keyboard commands and/or characters. 45 IRISPen Executive 6 - User's guide Add ending code: You can have the IRISPen execute operations automatically in the target application after the output result is being inserted. If you insert data into a database, you can for example define a tabulation as ending code to automatically position your cursor in the next field. A series of possible codes are proposed by default, but you can also introduce your own ending code. [. . . ] Introduce the required characters/commands in the proposed fields, then click OK to confirm. Use the Character map to easily key in the needed characters. 73 IRISPen Executive 6 - User's guide Scanned string: Type in the character or character string that will be scanned and recognized. Converted string: Type in the data into which the scanned string has to be converted. You can type in a character, character string, a keyboard command, or any combination of all. [. . . ]
